8/1: Cubs (Lester) @ Cardinals (Flaherty) 6:15, NBCSCH

Thanks Rizzo, you fat horsefeathers

[Schwarber Fan]

Sweep Milwaukee and go from there I guess.

[Sammy Sofa]

Why am I watching this? I barely paid attention to them the last two weeks when I was on vacation and it was GREAT.

[Edith Cox]

Yup a failed catch on a foul ball leads to a double. That's enough for me, this team isn't worth being pissed off all the time.

 

Feels like we pay for mistakes more than anyone else, while the Cardinals cash in almost every time they get a break

Both our runs last night were unearned and the Cardinals went 0-30 with RISP

I'll tell you what has helped the past week. Not watching the games. Checking the score on ESPN and coming to the game thread is enough. I don't think I could handle this offense right now. But it does make the frustration a lot less.

[Schwarber Fan]

Good night.

I’m gonna go watch the Star Wars trilogy (IV - VI). This is ridiculous.

1-3 would even be better than this

[abuck1220]

it is like a mathematical impossibility for a collection of guys with .800-.950 OPS to be collectively this horsefeathering terrible.

[Edith Cox]

We are heading for 9-22 on the road since the last time we won a road series. Went from 2 games up to one out of first on this 3-6 trip.

Why he can't face RHH

At this point save the pen for the weekend.

[Derwood]

Remember when people asked if Maddon would use Holland correctly?

[Sammy Sofa]

These fuckheads are going to win the division after being a billion games down, aren't they?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Good idea to bring in the guy who gets pummeled by righties. Better off letting Lester face Wieters.

It’s amazing they’ve all managed to sequence their worst slumps of the year together. That should be improbable and you know all 4 aren’t getting hot at the same time to make up for it, because of course not.

They are fixing to get rolled in LA and Oakland

Chatwood should’ve been in then. Outside chance he pitches well and keeps it close.

Now we know. :banghead:

5.5 at most...had nothing to do with them anyway. It was the Cubs and Brewers sucking more.

[Andy]

It's absolutely pathetic that literally every Cubs fan on the planet knew that the offense was gonna tank this entire series the second they scored runs on Sunday

THAT'S NOT VERY REASSURING.

[Edith Cox]

Wieters has been bad vs LHP for several years but is hot right now with 4 HR off them since June 30th when he hit one off our new LHP we traded Edwards in extras for his first hit of the year vs LHP. Now he has 7 hits and 5 XBH.

[Schwarber Fan]

Does this team even care? At what point does Joe take some blame for this?
